One person was transported to a hospital after a five-car crash on Dairy Road north of Palm Bay Road Friday morning, according to the Melbourne Fire Department.

The crash happened about 11 a.m. in the northbound lanes of Dairy near Range Drive, Melbourne Police Lt. Cheryl Trainer said. A car ran a stop sign and hit a couple of vehicles on Dairy, Trainer said. Then another vehicle which had been traveling on Dairy hit one of those cars, she said.

Firefighters were initially told a woman in one of the cars was trapped, but she was able to free herself unaided, Trainer said. She was taken to a hospital as a precaution, Trainer said.
